Wagner earns Eastlink Star

Kirkland Lake Gold Miner Aiden Wagner has been named one of this week’s Eastlink stars. Wagner’s contributions with Kirkland Lake during the time frame helped his side secure five of a possible six points and extend their cushion in the NOJHL East Division standings. Among the contributions from the Langley, B.C., native, who is in his final season of Jr. hockey, was a goal and an assist in a shootout triumph over Cochrane along with a pair of markers, including the game-winner, and another helper in a victory over the league-leading Soo Thunderbirds. Since joining the Gold Miners in early December, Wagner has registered a dozen points in just eight outings on eight goals and four assists.
